the rest of the story is that the governor of massachusetts estimated that only 123 consumers signed up in the first month but eventually tens of thousands did and now today the state has nearly universal coverage. they went from one in four ople having insurance to uninsured being one in four to 2340u being one in ten. we know the results so to me it's a reminder of what our goal was which is to address double digit increases in insurance rates were preventing people from getting insurance coverage. so to me the issues of the website and software since it's part of a background i've had before, to me it's about writing code and getting things tested and it's very frustrating for sure. in my mind it nowhere resembles something like the blowout preventers failing and oil gushing into the gulf and us struggling for months and months to get a scientific way to clean up that resource. in this case it's about just getting the code right and making it work and function. in that case, governor romney asked for and got a three-month delay. i know the chairman asked you to comment on that. i
